Silent Retreat on Centering Prayer

Centering prayer is a type of contemplative prayer. Contemplative prayer, in the words of Fr. Thomas Keeting – a Trappist monk and priest, is the opening of mind and heart to God, beyond thoughts and words and emotions. We open our awareness to the God whom we know by faith is within us, closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than consciousness itself. Centering Prayer is one method, not the only method, of contemplative prayer. Centering Prayer never meant to replace other types of prayer; it simply adds to our prayer life and invites us into a form of prayer where we can be still and be with God in silence and listening. $196 per person, $302 couples, $110 commuters
